Based in Mumbai, working internationally
You took over the business, and the business took over you. Every decision in the building goes through you, and nobody notices the line.
Part reading, part audit, for the second generation running the family business, founders under their own name, and the spaces behind them.
Companies and brands I've delivered for over the years
"We actually had trouble finding a title for her."
You’ve had the report, the coach and the agency. Each one looked at one piece and handed you one more thing to manage.
I look at all of it at once: how you sleep, where you work, who you answer to at home, what the business sells and who carries it.
The framework
What you were given: the family, the business, the timing, the body you have. Read it, don’t fight it.
The home and the workplace, and when to make a move. Backed by Feng Shui principles and neuroscience.
Where to invest your energy: the products, offers, systems, or your own name and authority. And the AI that does the work of five, for solo and overstretched founders, set up for you. Built for you. You still make the calls.
I read all three across relationships, health, and success and abundance, with your soul path at the centre.
(How I work)
The reading and the audit are 01 to 04, and the verdict comes in writing. What gets built after that is a separate decision: do it yourself from the plan, or have me install it.
(Who I work with)
You took over the family business and every decision still comes back to you.
You're the product, the operations and the content at once.
Where you live and where you receive people. Homes, hotels, restaurants and venues, where the space is the product.

"Adele worked with my Indian-based company for a year. We actually had trouble finding a title for her. There's really not much, in terms of branding, content, strategy, competency, that Adele cannot do. She is one of those people you can trust 100%. She will go above and beyond what's expected. If you have the opportunity to work with Adele, I highly recommend it."
Sarina RichardFounder / CEO, HERdle.Health"As someone who's always had a vague intrigue in feng shui but never delved any further, Adele came into my life at the perfect time. Within a matter of days I witnessed seemingly miraculous shifts in all areas of my life. New clients came to me, I got some spring back in my step — and all the traffic lights were green, figuratively and literally."
Adam W.Designer, Bali"Working with Adele transformed how we think about our home. The changes were subtle but the impact was profound — better sleep, clearer thinking, and a sense of calm we didn't know was missing. Her approach is incredibly grounded and practical."
Anushka & KaranFounders, BangaloreAbout
I grew up inside a family business, my father's art publishing house and gallery in Paris.
After he died, I inherited its hardest problem and saw it through, while my family learnt how to support each other's new directions along the way. A legacy is a gift with a weight attached, and I know both sides of it.
Since then I've built on both sides of the table: an experiential events company, a wedding planning business, and a venue-finding platform in London that has lived in my laptop for over ten years. I've run million-dollar social enterprise projects and developed premium food and drink concepts, including a restaurant and bar in Mumbai.
Franco-Vietnamese, brought up between Paris and Saigon. I now work at the intersection of business strategy, classical Feng Shui and neuroarchitecture, because where you are affects everything you do next.
Currently based in Mumbai. Working internationally.
